A FREE werewolf romance audiobook delivered as a daily podcast. By day, Laurel Atwood is a realtor selling marquee real estate in the city that killed her father. But by night, she's working to protect the wild spaces fighting to survive the exploitation of the rust and ruin. Her newest listing, the abandoned Ohio River Ironworks, should be her golden ticket. Instead, it's the one deal she can't afford to close.

Enter Ford Caldwell: a displaced Alpha from the Appalachian wilds with raw gold in his pockets, a dying pack at his back, and a plan to turn the Ironworks into a sanctuary before a corrupt developer bulldozes it into luxury condos. He needs Laurel to launder his assets. She needs him gone before he ruins everything. But the wolf inside him knows the truth: she's his mate, and he'll burn the city down before he lets her go.

This is enemies-to-lovers meets eat-the-rich in a gritty urban fantasy where fated mates collide with gentrification, forced proximity ignites in abandoned steel mills, and the real monsters wear suits. 

Perfect for fans of: Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Ilona Andrews, urban fantasy romance, shifter romance, anti-hero romance.
